Mr. Pickelhaupt, You were hardly on there long enough to learn anything. Once you found out that we were not going to totally bankroll your project, you ditched the board and have been bad-mouthing us ever sense. Mr. Pickelhaupt, I suggest that you get over it and get on with your life and stop boring these people with you whining. Kevin Rupp volgagerman@ruraltel.net krupp@ruraltel.net www.volgagerman.net -----Original Message----- From: ger-volga-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ger-volga-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Bill Pickelhaupt Sent: Friday, February 21, 2014 2:53 PM To: GER-VOLGA-L Subject: [GV] Response I served for one meeting of the board. It was obvious I could accomplish more outside the board than on the board, so I left. A bill was paid by AHSGR for translation services - Rick Rye was going to accompany me, but health issues prevented his travel. This was five years ago. I was out the cost of his airline ticket, which was not a problem. It was necessary to employ a translator, however, in the attempt to find conscription records related to Germans from the Volga, since I can not read handwritten Russian. Talk about a Faustian bargain! No records were found, and I moved on to other projects after my departure from the board: translation of VG histories of Protestant villages, research in *Mittheilungen und Nachrichten, *translation of Pastor Frederich Dsirne's history of the Volga-German colonies in Russia, etc. Those items have nothing to do with LDS. BTW, the 1850 and 1857 census data which I did find in Salt Lake City was given by me to Brent Mai. I understand he has translated some of these census records (I am told some census records he gets are directly from Russian archives), and those village census records are available for purchase in the AHSGR bookstore. That is fine with me. Let's see, I paid for my trip from Los Angeles, where I lived at the time, to Salt Lake City, my hotel room and meals in Salt Lake City and gave away the fruits of my discovery. And AHSGR makes some money. Fine with me, because it benefits a large number of researchers. And I do not hold copyright on any of that material. As I said, the annotated Kontora cases are available online. Only the titles and an internal numbering system seem to have survived. I am not fine with my copyrighted work being stolen. As webmaster, Mr. Rupp, it seems you would be in an excellent position to have posted my work to the AHSGR website. Is that the case? A question, not an accusation. There has been collection of my emails by an individual posing as someone disgruntled with AHSGR, gathering my words and running to the board to pass my emails around. Did you coordinate that effort? I would like to know who did coordinate that. Diane did tell me this was going on. People have to be very insecure to worry about what I think. The move to give SOAR obituaries to LDS' familysearch.org website is a positive move.

No records were found, and I moved on to other projects after my departure from the board: translation of VG histories of Protestant villages, research in *Mittheilungen und Nachrichten, *translation of Pastor Frederich Dsirne's history of the Volga-German colonies in Russia, etc. Those items have nothing to do with LDS. BTW, the 1850 and 1857 census data which I did find in Salt Lake City was given by me to Brent Mai. I understand he has translated some of these census records (I am told some census records he gets are directly from Russian archives), and those village census records are available for purchase in the AHSGR bookstore. That is fine with me. Let's see, I paid for my trip from Los Angeles, where I lived at the time, to Salt Lake City, my hotel room and meals in Salt Lake City and gave away the fruits of my discovery. And AHSGR makes some money. Fine with me, because it benefits a large number of researchers. And I do not hold copyright on any of that material. As I said, the annotated Kontora cases are available online. Only the titles and an internal numbering system seem to have survived. I am not fine with my copyrighted work being stolen. As webmaster, Mr. Rupp, it seems you would be in an excellent position to have posted my work to the AHSGR website. Is that the case? A question, not an accusation. There has been collection of my emails by an individual posing as someone disgruntled with AHSGR, gathering my words and running to the board to pass my emails around. Did you coordinate that effort? I would like to know who did coordinate that. Diane did tell me this was going on. People have to be very insecure to worry about what I think. The move to give SOAR obituaries to LDS' familysearch.org website is a positive move.

Once again Mr. Pickelhaupt distorts the facts about the Society. The only dispute to his comments about the Kontora Lost Case Files is that Mr. Pickelhaupt got all his facts wrong in order to continue his drumbeat against AHSGR. Mr. Pickelhaupt also goes on to say that this board member, which is myself, "launched into a personal attack against him". He fails to mention his personal attacks on myself and the Society. If anyone would like to know more about the facts on the Annotated List you may contact me at my email, krupp@ruraltel.net and I am happy to share with you what is current and correct. Mr. Pickelhaupt also seems to forget how AHSGR funded a part of his project to Utah for searching out the LDS Microfilms to prepare a list of what is available. Once he didn't find what HE wanted he left the board, only serving for barely two board meetings.

It appears there is some dispute as to the facts in the situation of the aborted publication of the lost Kontora cases in English. A board member contacted me to say what I stated was not right, but then launched into a nasty personal attack on me. Subsequent information disclosed there may well be coordinated action against me, but this goes into the legal realm. Bottomline on the Kontora cases, there is a dispute on the facts of the English publication, and I may not have had all the facts. But the Russian volumes are available online, as pointed out about a month ago. Bill Pickelhaupt Sent from my HTC Inspire(tm) 4G on AT&T

The thirty-eighth annual symposium of the Society for German-American Studies will be held in Milwaukee from April 10th to 13th, 2014. As with New Orleans, the meeting will mark the first time the Society has met in the host city, and the first time in a long time that we?ve met in Wisconsin. A block of rooms has already been reserved at the Hampton Inn Downtown. Mark your calendar. Additional details will appear here as they become available. > > Annual Meeting and Symposium > > German Milwaukee > Milwaukee?s first German settlers arrived in 1839, just four years after the region?s first public land sale. By 1860, they formed a majority of the city?s population, and Milwaukee became the most German large city west of Berlin. Although they lived in all sections of town, the immigrants? particular stronghold was the area west of the Milwaukee River. North Third Street was their ?downtown,? and some merchants reportedly put signs in their windows to reassure non-Germans that they could find ?English Spoken Here.? > > The German community?s key quality was its internal diversity. The newcomers ranged across a broad spectrum of economic, religious, and political backgrounds. Perhaps the most colorful sub-group was the Forty-Eighters, who had fled the homeland after a failed revolt against royal rule in 1848. Well-educated, idealistic, and decidedly liberal, the Forty-Eighters organized musical societies, arts and theater groups, Turner clubs, and other cultural institutions that made Milwaukee the ?German Athens of America.? > > The Germans maintained their distance from the dominant Yankees at first, but in time they exercised a dominance of their own in culture, politics, and industry. The roster of Milwaukee?s leading employers was filled with Teutonic names: Harnischfeger, Falk, and Heil in manufacturing; Pfister, Vogel, and Gallun in tanning; and Pabst, Schlitz, and Miller in brewing. It was the prevalence of German-owned breweries that made Milwaukee the ?beer capital of the world.? > > The wave of anti-German hysteria that crested during World War I nearly washed away the German cultural establishment, and the slow process of assimilation moved the community still further from its roots, but its Germanic heritage continues to shape Milwaukee?s character. In 2000, nearly thirty-eight percent of the population of Milwaukee claimed at least some German ancestry?still the highest proportion in urban America. > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > To contact the GER-VOLGA list administrator, send an email to > GER-VOLGA-admin@rootsweb.com. > > To post a message to the GER-VOLGA mailing list, send an email to GER-VOLGA@rootsweb.com. > > __________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GER-VOLGA-request@rootsweb.com > with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the > email with no additional text. > > > End of GER-VOLGA Digest, Vol 9, Issue 31 > **************************************** >
